Fun stuff. Maybe you got to rub elbows with the scumbag thugs who tortured others, or killed dissidents. Heros, each and every one of them. Right?

Sorry to say, as an expat, I have little respect for the CIA.

The reason is simple. Well, there are two reasons.

Reason one is very simple: The CIA does not respect American citizens when they are outside the United States. I am subject to illegal investigations, due to the high level of (quality, mind you) intelligence employed by the CIA. I have no protections against them. Therefore, they get a big ‘f**k you’ from me, as any sensible person would understand.

In other words, if you give me, as an expat, no protection, then do not expect me to give you any support, or even the time of day.

Second point is flat easy, given the numerous mistakes that the CIA has made over the years, in Iran and really a bunch of other places, why shouldn’t we just shut the Agency down completely? Wouldn’t that be a net gain? Really?
